This is the Spaceport I built for the 2005 NW Brickcon.
Some features:
working baggage system (elevator takes it down to the tarmac, and a conveyor
takes it up to the baggage claim are)
monorail connection
it was made to connect with my gray civilian transport (see bricklink folder at
bottom for those old pictures)
Thank goodness for PAB in Bellevue.
8 gates, each at typical moonbase corridor height.
3 moonbase corridor connections (2 at 10 bricks high, one at 30 high)

OK - this isn’t really a vignette, but it DOES feature Joe Vig.
This was a module made for the Haunted Mansion at the 2005 NW BrickCon.
It is pretty self-explanatory; Joe-Vig, as a symbol of all that is naive about
the mini-fig world is being roasted (literally) by the non-Mini-figs.

Enjoy!

David,
I’ve been meaning to enter this year after year and never seem to get
around to it. It’s not looking any better this year. I’ve got a Castle
display I’m putting on this weekend with Dan Parker and then NWBrickCon
just around the corner. Ack! NWBC is only 6 weeks away.
Have you checked with them about having a special display for your angel?

There were some pretty cool entries that I saw. An amazing Jack-in-the-box,
and a really cool castle. Both amazingly detailed for the size constraints
of the contest. The person accepting entries told me that I wasn’t able to
take pictures. :-(
I dropped off my entry, a couple of linked rings, measuring 14.5” tall at
the center.
Plans and rendering for my entry:

Oops - should have made myself clearer:
The Puyallup Fair will be showing the entries during the fair September 9-25,
2005. Winners will be announced September 9, 2005. Photos will be allowed
during the fair.

I posted photos of some of the entries to the Puyallup Fair Lego competition at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/happyfrosh/Puyallup2005/
The grand champion in the youth category was a cow driving a pickup truck with a
pumpkin in the back: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1409652
The grand champion in the adult category was a building (I think a church):

Yes, once again it is time for the Dirty Brickster at NWBrickCon. Yes, it is
once again time to peruse your various Lego and Lego related stuff to find that
perfect gift to exchange, that thing you don't really need but that someone else
may go ga-ga over, or possibly agree that it sucks, or maybe if they are lucky
will at least be able to trade it for something good at Wal-Mart.
So bring your gift, valued in the $10 to $20 range to NWBrickCon for the Dirty
Brickster. Make sure it is wrapped. We will draw numbers and you can choose a
mystery item or be a Dirty Brickster and steal someone else's treasure! Only 3
steels allowed per item (with the possible exception of the first person - we
will vote on that before the event).
This is always great. And I promise this year I'll be bringing something a lot
better than Mushroom Bins (although of course, these excellent sorting and
storing bins will once again be available for you to test and purchase!)
It isn't too late to register for the best Brick show in the Northwest.
Register now at www.nwbrickcon.org, and we will see you October 7th-9th!
-Matt :)
Dirty Brickster Coordinator at NWBrickCon
And also the Brick Bazaar Coordinator, so be sure to let me know if you want to
sell stuff!

NWBrickCon 2005 would like *you* to present, facilitate, or run a talk,
round-table, class, or special activity.
NWBrickCon schedules several classes and special events throughout the
Con---seeing and sharing MOCs is fun, but a Lego fan convention offers
special opportunities for us to learn from each other and to share unique
activities.
Currently we have many special activities scheduled, including a draft, a
master build, a speed build, Wacky Races, and talks on Micro building,
landscaping, and packing Lego.
Past activities and talks not yet taken for this year included theme
roundtables, DCC and Lego Trains, the LDraw system of tools, and more.
Sessions typically run twenty to fifty minutes in length. A/V
presentation equipment (projector, PowerPoint, etc.) will be
available---please let us know about your needs in this area.
If you would be interested in running/giving/facilitating a
seminar/session/activity please e-mail
present (at) nwbrickcon.org
Please mail your proposal as soon as possible, but no later than September
16th (we need to firm up our schedule by then to ensure inclusion in the
Event Program). Scheduling will generally be on a first-come,
first-filled basis.
Presenters can present to AFOL Con attendees. Also, the Con incorporates
a public exposition (12--4 Sat & Sun) and we welcome talks or activities
directed toward the non-AFOL public.
Presenters must, of course, be Con attendees. Preregistration closes next
Wednesday, so register now if you haven't already. Information on
registration and the Con is general is available at
http://www.nwbrickcon.org/

This is somewhat of a repeat, but the deadline for pre-registration is fast
approaching... Bring your Lego wares to NWBrickCon!
NWBrickCon will be held October 7th-9th at the Seattle Center. And the Brick
Bazaar is a fanstastic time to unload your surplus Lego or move some product
from your retail inventory. If you want a full or half table reserved for you,
please let me know as soon as you can. There is no table fee, but a donation
for the door prize would always be appreciated!
The public will be in for a while on Sunday to the Rainier Room (not the Brick
Bazaar room). If you want to sell your wares to the public (not just conference
attendees) it is an option. However it will require you to get a City of
Seattle Business Liscense (cost of around $45 I believe). If you are getting
the liscense and want a table(s) during the public time, let me know and we will
work out the details.
If you just have a few sets to sell (not parts) there is a local toy dealer
(Math 'n Stuff) who will be there, and they have agreed to act as agent and sell
to the public for you! You will need to keep an eye on your own merchandise
during the public time if you do that. It is a great, EASY way to sell custom
sets or older retired sets.
Remember, to sell to conference attendees during the regular Brick Bazaar is a
no-fee and no-liscense needed thing! So just send me an email at
mattchiles@gorge.net to sign up and reserve your space.
Oh yeah, we will provide tables and skirting. You bring stuff to sell, shelving
if needed, bags if appropriate, change box & small change, business cards, table
cover sheet for while you are gone, signs and price tags, some paper and pens
for notes you may need to take, and all that sort of stuff. Don't plan on
electricity being available at your table, although we will do our best to
accomodate if needed (bring your own extension cord and we will see what we can
do). And DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER FOR THE CONVENTION NOW at www.nwbrickcon.org!
-Matt :)

I left the Lego Stanford Angel with my relatives in Washington D.C. after
BrickFest2005. It was difficult to ship it across the country.
(Even getting it from my relatives’ home to the conference required renting a
full-size SUV to transport the 4 large boxes)
While I have some ideas for future large building (this time in red), I’m
probably not going to have anything done in the next 8 days.
